POTTERYBARN-ISH DESKTOP CORKBOARD

so...i know some of you gals might have limited space on your desks or work areas...but you want some kind of way to be able to post small notes or reminders?...well...here ya go...my potterybarn-ish (yeah...i make up my own words) desktop corkboard!...with just replacing the glass with cork...you'll make one super cute note holder that's only the size of a frame!...wow...that sounded a little like an infomercial!...lol...but be honest...is this not something straight off the pages from the pb catalog?...and how about those pushpins?...with help from little birdie secrets...i made those too!...

take the paper insert or the glass...put at edge of cork...and cut to size...

then...instead of putting the glass back...put the cork in...

you want to put the back on now...one thing you'll find...is that you won't be able to use the closures like you normally would...so this is where the staple gun comes into play!...plus...what gal doesn't love power tools?...lol...

you'll want to angle the staples...not staple directly into the frame...

Oh My, those are adorable, i make some and sell that are very similar, but yours are pretty darn cute- I love those flowers- so creative- Just Awesome, this is why i love these linky things- you find these amazing blogs- Will absalutely become a Follower of yours. Karryann

Thanks for the tutorial and great pictures of how to! Will definitely be trying this. I am so dispointed that Olive Juice is having trouble while you were guest designer. I think it may have been due it part to your loyal following flocking to the site!

I am *in love* with these flowers. I stopped throwing away the paper at my desk at work. Not I cut out circles and make roses. I have a jar of them now in sorts of different paper which makes a really great variety...TOO CUTE

I love these flowers! I needed a gift box today, so I made a few of these, cut out a monogram letter on my cricut, and glued them on the box. It turned out great, and the flowers were a great touch! Also a great way to use up scrap paper!
